Forgive my ignorance, but how does fluroscopy measure up in regards to 'radiographic' imagery. My BO insists they are old school, and not commonly used. We had a bunch done for my gelding, and my vet thinks everything is fairly good except for the sesamoid. We have had blocks done and my vet thinks it (RF lameness) is attributed to the pastern angle. There is about a 2-3 degrees diff, between r and l.

Hello Patty,
In general fluroscopic images are of lower quality than radiographs but allow for a view of more structures from more angles.
